The terraform get
command is used to download and update modules mentioned in the root module.
Usage: terraform get [options] [dir]
The modules are downloaded into a local .terraform
folder. This folder should not be committed to version control. The .terraform
folder is created relative to your current working directory regardless of the dir
argument given to this command.
If a module is already downloaded and the -update
flag is not set, Terraform will do nothing. As a result, it is safe (and fast) to run this command multiple times.
The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are:
-update
- If specified, modules that are already downloaded will be checked for updates and the updates will be downloaded if present. dir
- Sets the path of the root module.
